"Cracker" is about a dog named Cracker who is forced to leave her loving family because the family's apartment doesn't allow pets. Cracker is sent off to train to become a working dog in the military, where she meets her new handler, Rick. After a year of training Cracker and Rick are sent to Vietnam to... fight. Things go smoothly at first, harsh weather, millions of mosquitos, and leeches, but no extreme battles. Then, Rick gets sent with Cracker to a secret mission to rescue some soldiers held captive by the Vietnamese. I won't go into detail about this, because it was very violent. When they get back, everyone is rushing around and he is told to get on a helicopter immediately. It turns out to be a big battle. In this battle Rick's best friend is seriously injured and his dog killed. It is SUCH a sad book, but a great one nonetheless. I am on page 227 out of 313.

I have been looking for a new book, and this one looks awesome!
ReplyDeleteIt is! I hope you choose to read it!
DeleteSounds really cool! I don't have a book to read at the moment so why not read this! What age do you think it's for though? I recently read a book called 'What Katy Did' It was awesome. I also read a book called 'The Vanishing Of Katharina Linden' which was awesome!
DeleteIt IS a great book! You should read it! Hmm... I am 10 and thoroughly enjoyed it, but it would probably be too violent for kids under... 8. So anyone 8+ would probably like it, though it's more of a 10-16 year old book. Hope that helps!
DeleteThis like the book Duke!! That book is awesome!!
